Of all of the skills I’ve picked up in the kitchen or in front of the grill, the one that always seems to garner the most attention is my ability to crack an egg with one hand. It’s so funny, because once you learn how to do it, it becomes so second nature, you don’t even think about it. I can slice a radish paper thin, flip an omelet with one hand, stack a dozen burgers on a spatula, and debone a chicken in under a minute.. but everyone wants to know the darn ‘crack an egg with one hand’ trick…
I did some hunting online to find the video that I had originally learned this little trick from. It’ll take you 5 minutes to master, and a lifetime to impress your friends with. Go figure!
I had a home-ec teacher who taught us once… always works better with smaller eggs for me. (Small hands.) It IS a great trick, especially if you can do two at once! I can’t do it with my left hand very well though. Le sigh.
